Objetivo: Comparar aspectos clínicos, laboratoriais, de imagem, manejo ventilatório e desfecho de pacientes com diagnóstico de COVID-19, em diferentes momentos da pandemia. Métodos: Estudo observacional, do tipo retrospectivo e comparativo de pacientes diagnosticados com COVID-19 internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) da região sul do Brasil. Contou com amostra total de 142 indivíduos, subdivididos em 2 grupos (grupo 2020 – G20 e grupo 2021 – G21) e análise dos dados por testes estatísticos específicos. Resultados: O G21 em todas as variáveis apresentou-se mais grave em relação ao G20, com acometimento da infecção viral em população mais jovem (<0,0001), pior escore do Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (0,0006), maior taxa de mortalidade (0,0002), maior número de dias de internamento em UTI (<0,0001), bem como maior utilização de ventilação mecânica não invasiva (0,0006), ventilação mecânica invasiva (<0,0001) e uso de oxigênio suplementar (<0,0001). Conclusão: A Pandemia da COVID-19 sem dúvida é uma das mais graves da humanidade que ainda continua em vigência e atravessou até agora fases diferenciadas. Atribuímos nossos resultados a uma condição mais grave já na admissão destes doentes, cursando com desfechos desfavoráveis em sua maioria. Fatores relacionados ao avançar da pandemia, como surgimento de novas variantes, a sobrecarga ao sistema hospitalar e farmacêutico, podem responder parte das diferenças encontradas, mas para isso novos estudos devem ser realizados mensurando essas possíveis variáveis.
